Ed Schultz Moves to Weekends on MSNBC

At the tail end of his show tonight, Ed Schultz announced that his primetime MSNBC show will be coming to an end this week and he will be moving to the network’s weekend lineup starting in April.

Schultz called the move a great opportunity for his show, which will air Saturdays and Sundays from 5-7. He cited “a number of personal and professional reasons” for why he wanted to take the new timeslot, and proudly spoke of how much his MSNBC show has given him the opportunity to be a “voice for the voiceless,” and said his new weekend show will give him a chance to interact more with average Americans.

Any speculation on who might replace him? I’m putting my money on MS moving one of the daytime shows into the slot. Perhaps The Cycle or Alex Wagner.

Hayes makes sense. Like Rachel Maddow before him, he’s been working as a fill in host for when the regulars go on vacation, so I guess he was next in the lineup to get a nightly show.

I can’t say I’m going to miss Schultz. He always struck me as too much of a blow hard. Hayes may be every conservatives stereotype of a pencil neck liberal, but he is smart and good at what he does.

I think Alex Wagner will eventually get a nightly show. Maybe once Lawrence O’Donnell runs out of anecdotes about his time writing for The West Wing or some suit at MSNBC realizes that Al Sharpton is never going to take those marbles out of his mouth.

I read somewhere that it was Chris Hayes, actually.
